Our CFOs work through a comprehensive checklist with you, your accounting team, your auditors and your tax consultants to strengthen your finance and accounting function.
Accounting health check
We check your main accounting and reporting areas and give recommendations from a CFO's perspective. You receive an executive summary of findings and the areas to strengthen to take the company to the next level. Afterwards, depending on your needs, we help draft policies and implement the recommendations.
Systems assessment and development
We assess whether your current systems are running efficiently and producing accurate results on time. Where systems are inadequate or missing, we help you choose the right ones. This can include your financial accounting system, cost accounting system, purchasing and accounts payable process, operations process flow, or how you measure operational performance.
Key performance indicators
Every business has a handful of factors that, monitored regularly, show how it is doing right now. Financial statements tell you what happened weeks ago; KPIs tell you what is happening today, and can sometimes predict what comes next.
The right KPIs depend on your business: production, distribution, overtime, sales, order intake, collections, inventory levels or backlog. We identify yours and set up a process to track and analyze them.
Accounting policies and procedures
Solid accounting policies and procedures are the most important foundation of sound internal controls. We help you write and apply finance and accounting policies that improve controls, reporting and general management.
Internal controls
Putting internal controls in place is not easy. We advise growth companies on the practical controls they need, then help set them up and implement them, tailored to the company's size and stage so they actually work.
